Selectman Cooper Makes His R eport to
 the Town Fathers on the Method He
 Took to Award the Tax List Contract
 1t Causes Quite a mmotton.
 There was little ripple of excitement created at the meeting of the board of se- lectmen last evening. It was all caused by the awarding of the contract for furnishing the tax list blanks for the ensuing year.
 Selectman Cooper made his report to the board of selectmen last evening and stirred up quite little commotion. He stated that a certain kind of paper was furnished by MT. Babcock with his figures He went to the assessors and they said the paper was per fectly satisfactory. He says he then went to the other bidders and asked for their bid on that kind of paper. MT. Thomas told him that he had already bid and would not do so again. He then awarded the contract to Mir. Babcock.
 When Selectman Cooper had finished his explanation Selectman Beecher arose and be- gan tirade against the mode pursued in awarding the contract. Selectman Klenke tried to smooth the matter over by saying the matter had been done and it had better be let drop. This only angered MT. Beecher the more and he spoke of "hushing up the mat ter" and "crookedness."
 Colonel White was somewhat of Selectman Beecher's opinion in the matter. At this juncture, when the town fathers faces began to wax warm and red, new business was talk en up and Selectman Cooper's report was neither adopted nor rejected.
 Thus the matter stands. MT. Babcock will print the tax lists; MT. Thomas thinks he has been cheated out of it, as do many of his friends; the assessors feel that they are capable of managing their own business and should not be bothered with committees from the selectmen-and all this over 8 matter of something over $100.

SLoOUm YIELDS TO PETTIT
En the Tennis Tournament at Spring. field.

En the Tennis Tournament at Spring.
 Held.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 2O.-The inter- est in the tennis tournament reached its height today. Owing to the expected match between Slocum and Petit the crowd was larger than yesterday, about three hundred of the friends of the club being on the grounds during the afternoon. Shaw and Paddock finished the match begun yesterday, Shaw winning in straight games. The full score was 6-1, 6-3. In the local match Gil lett won the deciding set between himself and Shipman, GA, the score of the match being 7-9, 7-5, 6-4 Gillett also beat Nor man easily, GA, 6-1. Brinley had an easy time in winning two sets from Fuller, ,6-1 ,6-2 Shaw and Wright had lively time, Shaw's placing and hard volleying finally telling in his favor, 4, 7-5. Gillett played a remark ably good game when he tried Brinley late in the afternoon and won the set handily, ?, the rest of the match to be played to- morrow. The feature of the day was the match, best three in five, between Slocum and Petit. These two men have been anx- ious to meet each other for some time and this afternoons contest was exciting and brilliantly played. The first set was won easily by Petit, 6-3. The second saw great change in Slocum's play, who, waking up and placing the balls hard and surely, won the set, 6-1. The third started in the same way, but with the score 5-1 against him Pettit pulled up and won by the score of 7-5. He took the next set also, 60. In the doubles three matches were played. Shaw and Failer beat Brinley and Shipman, 36, 6-4 6-2 These sets were closely played and excited special interest, as one of the two pairs was expect ed to take off first prize in doubles. Learned and Buckingham default ed to Gillett and Chapin, who in turn were easily beaten by Paddock and Wright, 6 1, 6 B. Shaw and Taller beat Sargent and Gar diner, 6-1, 6 3. The matches tomorrow will probably settle the first prizes in the singles and doubles. The contest for the singles is between Gillett, Brinley and Shaw and for the doubles between Shaw and Taller and Paddock and Wright

Thieves Enter a House, Knock a

 Fifteen Hundred Dollars.
 PALMER, Mass, Sept. 20.-A package con- taining $1 ,500 in money was stolen from the residence of MT. Ellis on Park street in this place this evening. MT. Ellis is connected with one of the mills here and the money was to have been used in paying off the hands. The package was left on the piano in one of the rooms, MT. Ellis not dreaming of danger as members of the family were about. He then went upstairs. Soon after prolonged cry for help caused him to rush to the piano room, where he found his daughter lping on the floor in an unconscious condition with terrible blow upon the forehead. The money was gone. The young lady has not yet recovered sufficiently to give any information as to her assailant or assailants. There is no doubt but that one or more robbers entered the house, assaulted the girl and escaped with the money by leaping through screened window. The bold deed has created intense excitement

Entertainments.

A small audience greeted the second ap- pearance of Maude Banks and her supporting company in ''Joan of Arc" at the Hyperion last evening. While, in some respects. the performance was a little better than on Monday night, no material improvement was noticed. With more study of difficult parts, like Joan, Miss Banks would be better able to portray them, as she undoubtedly possess es good stage presence and elocutionary abil- ity of no mean order. The acting of last night showed desire to make the most of her part and her present ability, and she eer- tainly deserves a word of praise for it.

THE VOLUNTEERS NEW BOOM

Tried And Found Wanting And the
 To Victory.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-General Paine is having a great deal of trouble preparing his white sloop Volunteer for her naval duel next week with the Thistle. The trial trip of the champion yesterday convinced all on board that the new boom which was shipped Saturday evening is entirely unsuited to the vessel. Every effort was made on the spin down the bay to get the huge mainsail to set on it properly, but without success. As a result the sailors of the sloop were to-day put to work unshipping the new spar. At seven o'clock the mainsail was taken off and the boom was sent ashore. The new spar was made in Boston and is not the old boom of the eloop Atlantic ss a morning paper states. After being unshipped the new spar was cast overheard and lowed ashore to Mumm's shipyard, which adjoins the Allan tic Yacht club house and at which the Vol, unteer is anchored. The fixtures were then stripped from it and put upon the old but shorter spar which has been instrumental in carrying the pretty racer to the front so many times this season and which was
  This afternoon the sailors were engaged in putting it in position. General Paine intends to make number of alterations to the ves- sells spars and rigging before her first race next Tuesday, but the nature of these he re- fuses to divulge at present. MT. John Hys- lop, the official measurer of the New York club, will visit both vessels tomorrow morn ing and measure them, after which he will figure on the allowance. Captain Barr an- nounces to day that the Thistle will be sailed by forty men in the races. The Volunteer will be handled by thirty six.
